• SHADOW LEAPING
    We see all and yet only travel in darkness. We are like clouds without a definite shape yet we may form our body into our original shape. In order to survive we must remain unsuspected of existence. We must not kill for pleasure but only when our existence is threatened. There are many kinds of us some of us good others bad. Sometimes one of my kinds commits a crime that intersects with both the law of the humans and that of our people. For such actions our kind is chased and hunted. The people that do the hunting are from everywhere. In order to retain the possible outcome governments from every country work together only because they don’t know that not all the possible outcomes we produce need to be bad. That’s where I come in. I form part of an alliance that is strictly to save the good ones. We fight every day to support our people in the darkness. There are of course constant assassinations we have to complete of those bad ones that even the governments can’t stop. Those are the ones we classify as the LSL’s. Legendary shadow leapers that’s the profiles of the people I’m sent to coldly kill. They are the kind of scum that joins groups that have made commitments to drug lords thieve groups and even terrorist squads. In the end we are all shadow leapers. And when it comes to that final move in the battles on the streets I differ because I fight for justice. I am a shadow slayer.
    EPISODE 1
    This use to be my normal life, I use to have a family before the government came and took them while looking for me. I had just discovered my powers and I thought it was normal to have them and not talk about them. But that’s old news. Today I’ve been appointed a mission I have to save this guy that has the potential to become as strong as a LSL but is on a good path. They say to be careful because if I fight with this one there will be no end to a fight. We are equally matched they said. So I’m headed to find this guy. It’s pure daylight and I’m traveling. There are not that many shadows to leap from. I could walk but they say that would be a big mistake. Then again since this guy doesn’t know the rules he might be walking out of shadows.
    I’ve got to be honest it feels different, walking in sunlight that is, it’s been years. I usually don’t do this at all but they said this is a special case and anything goes just lead him to the right path. That’s the same as when they sent for me I was afraid and nearly killed the guy with a led pipe I had found on the ground. This was it the old house of the guy I’m being sent for and if I have any luck he will be here. I don’t want to alarm him because then he could leap from whatever shadow to any shadow in the world. Which would be pretty messy until you shake hands or come in contact with him that is. Then you could sink with him and travel to where he’s at anytime.
    (As I walk in I look around for him)
    Nicholas “Now where could he be?”

    (I shadow leap way behind the steps I have taken and find myself standing behind him)

    Nicholas
    “Tag you’re it, now wait stalking a friend isn’t
    right. I realize I know you right Tommy.”

    Tommy
    “Yes Nicholas I agree now tell me what you’re doing here”

    Nicholas
    “Well I can’t say I came to say hi only. I came looking for you my superiors appointed me this task. And I’m supposed to help you. But first lets go eat I do get paid for what I do you know.”

    (We leap to a buffet)

    Tommy
    “So what do you do Nicholas?”




    Nicholas
    “I’m a shadow slayer I reap our kind only those that violate the laws and kill cold-bloodedly and I bring the good ones to safety like you that’s why I’m here or so that’s what I was told.”

    Tommy
    “I see how amazing you’re like a cop type person. That’s neat I’ve worked as a bag boy at the grocery store.”

    Nicholas
    “Seriously and how has everything been since I left Tommy.”

    Tommy
    “Well not so great it took a while to get to this position you know employed especially because I couldn’t control it just tends to go off when I’m working. So it’s been job after job and this one has been the longest it’s been 4 weeks”

    Nicholas
    “Well you should begin considering leaving this behind for a while we have special training centers were you can learn to control your powers. We can do more than just leap you know and they can teach you anything you want to learn.”

    Tommy
    “No offense Nicholas but you’ve always had a knack for knowledge I haven’t”

    Nicholas
    “But you can try it out right well let’s forget about this for a second I haven’t been here for a while tell me how’ve you been other than job wise?”

    Tommy
    “Not so well in the day but during night time I don’t have to take cabs now. Well there’s not much to say I’ve been keeping up with studies I got to college classes after work and I’m studying to become a professor in strategic thinking not that anyone offers that position.”

    Nicholas
    “Well it sounds good.”

    Tommy
    “Tell me about yourself Nicholas it’s been long time no see what is it like were you work.”

    Nicholas
    “Why don’t I just show you?

    Tommy
    “What do you mean?”
    Nicholas
    “Come on let’s get out of here.”

    [They walk to the nearest alley and to Nicholas’ amazement Tommy was sent to assassinate him while still in the light Nicholas is there waiting his final moments. Tommy within the shadows points a gun at Nicholas and keeps his ground. No one moves shakes or flinches. One must always be prepared for his final act.]
